reach its highest capabilities and aspira-
tions, that is not exempli6ed in His pre-
cepts. He said: "Love thy neighbor as
thyself;" He said: BLESSED are the mer-
ciful,' and blessed are the peace-mak-
ers." He bore the cross for all that was
evil and sinful. IF there is in all human
thought, in all the world of sympathy
and love, kindly and gracious emotion,
it is the inspiration drawn from Christ
and His religion. Yet the anarchists des-
pise His name, reject His divine mission,
revile His undying truths and deny that
He was God revealed ia. the flesh. Jesus
Christ said also: "Render unto Caesar
the things that are Cesar's," and He held
that obedience to human laws was a pre-
paration and disci pline for obedience to
divine laws, and was also its matured and
benehcent fruit
For this reason, probably, anarchy has
espoused infdelity Lavlessness is an-
archy. All that hates and despises the
law is anarchy. Anarchy is revolt against
all law, human and divine. Anarchy
begins in infdelity 1T beginsin denial
and defiance of God 1t ends in such
tragedies as were enacted at the Haymar-
ket in Chicago, May 4, 1886, and in the
Jail of the same city, November II, 1887
Irreligion, denial of Christianity, disbe-
lief in Bible truth are the pernicious seed
from which this pernicious fruit has pre-
ceeded.
Every teacher of lnfdelity, of Christ
less civilization and culture, of contempt
for religion and its divine truths, of dis
belief in Christianigospel, is an anarchist
in his heart, and bis teachings lead to such
scenes as those of the Reign of Terror in
France and of the dynamite tragedy in
Chicago. From Voltaire down to Bob
Ingersoll, every public teacher who has
taught disbelief in God, in the Bible, in a
future life and in human accountability,
is responsible for the blood that has been
shed in war against social law and in
atonement for crimes against society and
its laws.
There are men whose daily lives are
possibly more impure than those of the
anarchist teachers, who violate moral law,
the laws of home, the laws of business and
the laws of propriety. But they are not,
like The anarchists, theenemies of society
In their best thoughts and impulses they
are conservators Cf society. They are op-
posed to lawlessness and ruin. The an
archist, however pure his private life, is
an enemy of order He believes 10 des-
truction and ruin He would overturn
and demoish every existing law, every
social regulation, every form of faith and
every method of civilized mankind. IF
society can not be overturned by peaceful
methods he believes that forceful and
bloody methods should be adopted For
this reason an immoral and lawless man,
whose practices, habits and life are bad
who may even be criminal as regards
property rights or deeds of violence-if
be has theoretical belief in Gods a
good man and valuable member of So
ciety as compared with the iDfidel who,
however pure his life, denies the existence
of Deity, the truth of divine teachings
and the gospel that was taught by Jesus
Christ. Chicago Journal, Nou II, 1887.

DEMOCRATS WHO ARE WILLIN'. -
Speaking of the Democratic nomination
for governor of Wisconsin. there seems to
be more than the usual number of prom
inent Democrats in the hands of their
friends. Hon. John Winans has been
pursued by his friends so long, that it is
understood that be has concluded to ac-
cept the nomination to get rid of them.
DR.. Johnson, of Hudson, who came so near
defeating Nils P. Haugen for congress,
last spring, it is understood would like
the nomination. Ex-senator Andrew
Haben, of OSHKOSH, has his rod way up
high, and the friends of Hon. John D
Putnam, of River Falls, who ran for lieu
tenant-governor last fall, iDsist that he
should be given chance to show his
running qualities to better advantage.
Friends of John Lawler and ex-senator
Silverthorn are taking them up," and it
is said Congressman Tom Hudd would
not throw the nomination over his shoul-
der.-MGdison Democrat.
